1 Any right of action by the person entitled based on the liability of the carrier in case of death of, or personal injury to, passengers shall be extinguished if notice of the accident to the passenger is not given by the person entitled, within twelve months of his becoming aware of the loss or damage, to one of the carriers to whom a claim may be addressed in accordance with Article 55 paragraph 1. Where the person entitled gives oral notice of the accident to the carrier, the carrier shall furnish him with an acknowledgement of such oral notice.
Vse pravice upravičenca na podlagi odgovornosti prevoznika pri smrti ali poškodbi potnikov potečejo, če upravičenec enega od prevoznikov, pri katerem je mogoče vložiti zahtevek v skladu s prvim odstavkom 55. člena, ne obvesti o potnikovi nesreči v 12 mesecih po datumu, ko je za škodo izvedel. Če upravičenec prevoznika o nesreči obvesti ustno, mu mora o tem izdati potrdilo.
